Abstract:
An input device includes a movable section having a touch sensor, and an actuator that is mechanically fixed to the touch sensor and vibrates in a lateral direction; a support that supports the movable section via an elastic component; and a pressure sensor that (i) is disposed on a side opposite to a side on which the support supports the movable section and (ii) detects a pressing operation to the touch sensor. At least one of the movable section and the support transmits a force from the pressing operation to the pressure sensor due to the movable section and the support moving integrally and as a whole in a direction of the pressing operation when the pressing operation is performed.
